Línea de trabajo

Start with the PositionTracker constructor in bundles/org.eclipse.search/newsearch/org/eclipse/search2/internal/ui/text/PositionTracker.java, especially the lines linked in the issue, and investigate how it tracks edits for files not using ITextFileBufferManager. The issue suggests a resource change listener as a possible direction; done means saving an edited Xtext DSL file updates the Search view to show fewer matches.

Descripción

bug

Unfortunately I don't have a self containing example at hand, just saw the issue immediately by loking at the PR related to the Search view PositionTracker fix https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/pull/3802.

I can see it with custom Xtext based application that provides various DSL (text file based) implementations.

  1. Start Search -> File, make sure the filter matches some DSL files, like "Search for 'a'" text in any DSL file.
  2. Search view shows those DSL files (OK), highlighting text matches (OK)
  3. Double click on that file & remove the line with the match, save the file
  4. Search view is supposed to update the result to show less matches.
  5. For Xtext based DSL files this doesn't work - because Xtext by default doesn't use ITextFileBufferManager.

See org.eclipse.search2.internal.ui.text.PositionTracker constructor why this doesn't work:

https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/blob/1c1d72e1d84af68bd77eb4db785c11494662b644/bundles/org.eclipse.search/newsearch/org/eclipse/search2/internal/ui/text/PositionTracker.java#L61-L64

Of course it would be nice if Xtext would use "common" text file buffers API, but it's obviously design decision which was made several years ago and changing that would be either not possible or breaking existing API/code.

One possible solution on platform UI side would be to add resource change listener in PositionTracker...
